Abstract

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines. UC-related respiratory disease is fairly rare. Early diagnosis is important and can prevent significant potential effects, but can be challenging, due to mild symptoms and inconclusive radiology findings. This report describes some elements that can assist with early diagnosis.
